  I agree with @Mojmir .
  This combination is not really good.
  
  You need to decide what kind of character you want to play - a magicka or a stamina one.
  Stamina characters usually rely mainly on weapon abilities, but there are many weapon skill lines that gain strength from max stamina and weapon damage:

  • One Hand and Shield
  • Two Handed
  • Bow
  • Dual Wield

  Magicka users have only two weapon skill lines that draw power from max magicka and spell damage:

  • Destruction Staff
  • Restoration Staff

  BUT! most of the class abilities from each class are magicka abilities, few of which have a stamina morph.
  You can check the abilities and their morphs on this page.
  
  You can easily identify which abilities are magicka or stamina by looking at their cost.
  Also, magicka abilities will almost always deal fire, frost, lightning, or magic damage, while stamina abilities will almost always deal physical, poison or disease damage.

  Thanks guys, I guessed it was so.
  
  I only put exp in health for now, I think it is time to decide what way to go so I thought I ask before I start

  
  You can always re-allocate your attributes (and skill points)
  Those re-allocation shrines are found in the Capital of each alliance (Elden Root/Mournhold/Wayrest).
  
  Depending on which build you want to make, I suggest you put all the rest of the attributes into that resource.
  At endgame, it is best to have attributes all into max magicka or max stamina (64 total), then raise your health with enchantments if you feel you lack health. Otherwise enchant everything with stamina or magicka.
  Unless you decide to build a tank, in which case you might want to invest some attributes into health. But I would not suggest building a tank until you are at least level 50, this is when you will have plenty of group content to participate in. Playing a tank character solo is not really viable.
  
  One particular thing you should keep in mind:
  - max magicka increases the power of your magicka skills
  - max stamina increases the power of your stamina skills
  You should always strive to have as much resource as possible to maximize your damage. So make sure you have your gear enchanted, it really helps.

  Some magicka characters will use dual-wield swords because the game is coded that this gives the highest possible spell power boost of any weapon. (This is because of the damage of the two swords, plus a passive under the dual wield tree).
  
  This does carry disadvantages, though. You must rely on class and guild active skills, for starters, since the weapon skills are weak for a magicka character. Also, you get magicka back from heavy attacking with any staff, but stamina for heavy attacks from dual wielding. Also, you get ultimate generation only from light/medium/heavy attacking with your weapon, meaning you need to either swap bars a lot, attack with a less than optimal weapon, or give up ultimate.
  
  Dual wield is certainly a viable option for a magicka character! I just would not recommend it unless you already have a firm grasp on weaponry options plus a strong understanding of all the everyday parts of the game first.

  Why be normal when you can be better?
